Find out what animal and plant cells are and learn what the function of the cell wall and the nucleus is in this KS3 Bitesize biology article.
The cells driving the tissue are a plant-animal hybrid that can gain energy from sunlight in the same way that plants do, the researchers explain in the study.
Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14.
Every living plant cell and animal cell is surrounded by a membrane that helps it communicate with other cells and the outside world. These cellular membranes contain receptor molecules that serve ...
Clothing that adapts to one's needs and senses the external habitat. A lunar lava tunnel that uses bacteria, plants and fungi ...
Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.
Plant cells share a strange and surprising kinship with animal neurons: many plant cells have proteins that closely resemble glutamate receptors, which help to relay nerve signals from one neuron ...
But it has an important role within complex plant and animal cells, processing and packaging proteins and lipids, before they’re transported to other parts of the cell or secreted.
Now scientists at the University of California have for the first time discovered just how extensive that reprogramming can be, effectively turning bacterial cells into animal or plant-like cells.
We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.
